The Ark of the Covenant

The Ark of the Covenant??? My youngest son and I were watching Raiders of the Lost Ark over the weekend. He asked if there really was an ark. I was a little shocked that he (ten years old) didn’t know that there was an Ark of the Covenant.

I have opportunities to teach my children and this was one more that had just presented itself. We talk about things in the Bible and I guess that the ark had never come up. Apparently it had never come up in Sunday school either.

I told him about how things on television often portrayed things the way they wanted too in order to get more people to watch the show. That if there was something he saw on t.v. he should ask to make sure what he was seeing was correct or incorrect.

He next wanted to know where in the Bible he could read about the ark. My answer? The first five books of the Bible would be a good place for him to start. Remember he is ten so that answer was not good enough. I started looking and so did my wife. She found some scripture, which I read and began running references. Soon I found where the Ark was being designed and built. We gave that scripture to him to begin learning about the Ark.

This brings me to where I am at today and what is on my heart. As a parent and father (spiritual leader of my house) it is my job to answer my children’s as well as my wife’s spiritual questions. I am unable to on some occasions to answer instantly. I must pray for guidance and scripture to use. I must teach correctly what God wants my family to learn. I must teach correctly what I put into my blog. I must teach correctly what I tell my class and I must speak correctly when God places something on my heart to bring before the church (in testimony).

I am being lead to study the Ark of the Covenant and post in my blog. This may take several entries and several weeks. I ask for your prayer that this will be presented exactly how God wants it to be presented. I also ask for your comments to my post’s.

So within the next few days look for my first post on this subject.

Rev 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

May God Bless You!
